Life Moving Design – Teens edition
Choose the future you become
A narrative journey for teenagers (and worried parents) to explore choices, desires, and possible futures.
The Curve and The View
There are moments when the road narrows.
Questions multiply, while answers grow scarce.
And yet, it’s right there – in that very curve –
that the view begins to open.
This project is born in that place.
Where fear of the future still meets possibility.
Where life asks not just to be planned,
but to be reimagined.
You’re at the threshold.
I stay with you—until you see.
That’s why I wrote and rewrote this page:
I’m Lucia.
I’m a work psychologist, a consultant, and a citizen of the world.
I’ve always worked with guidance and desire.
But when I started working with young people, I realized something was missing:
a space to navigate without pretending to already know.
This page is a beginning.
It’s my way of saying:
you’re not late,
you don’t need to rush—
you’re just in the right place to begin.
Specifically designed for adolescents who live—or have lived—across multiple identities
(click to explore each one)
- children of migrants or expats
- youth from mixed-culture families
- internationally adopted teens
- children of diplomats, military personnel, aid workers, etc.
- adolescents dreaming of living, studying, or working elsewhere
Do these questions sound familiar?
- They ask which school you want to choose – but you don’t even know where to start.
- You’ve already decided – but no one around you seems to really trust your choice.
- You know what you want to do – but you’re not sure in which language you want to live it.
- You feel under pressure – as if you were supposed to already know everything about your future.
- Your parents want to help – but none of you really knows how to talk about it without ending in a fight.
- You feel like there are many possibilities inside you – but no one has ever truly asked what future you want.
What happens here?
This is not a course, and it’s not about giving advice.
It’s a psychological guidance journey for adolescents and families.
We work on how a person imagines the future—and how they choose to shape it.
Not to figure out what job to do,
but which problems you want to take care of.
It follows a 5-step method, one step per month,
with 3 sessions of 1h30 every 10 days.
It can be done individually or in small groups (max 10 participants).
Groups are moderated and designed with care for the participants’ psychological wellbeing.
Confidentiality and a clear relational code are required.
Are you designing guidance programs for others?
The Life Moving Design journeys can also be implemented in schools, organizations, and companies:
as group orientation programs for adolescents,
as welfare actions aimed at employees’ children,
or as part of broader projects on international mobility, multi-identity, and life transitions.
We’ve already run programs in Brussels (Belgium), Rocca di Papa (Italy),
and within the Impatto Puro framework.

🌍 A FUTURE
THAT DOESN’T COST THE FUTURE OF OTHERS
Every package, every session, every word is designed to train an ecological mindset:
the ability to imagine your own future without sacrificing someone else’s.
Throughout the journey, I invite each adolescent to choose one of the UN 2030 Agenda, not as a duty, but as a personal spark.
A goal that makes them angry.
That touches something close.
That’s been quietly growing inside them.
Something they’ve always wanted to change.
This work is part of a practice that honors the social value of work,
the right to desire,
and the responsibility that comes with every choice.
It aligns with the Manifesto of the Italian Society for Sustainable Career Guidance.

📌 EVERYTHING ON ONE PAGE. EVERYTHING IN MOTION.
Life Moving Design is a living project.
Each module stands on its own, yet everything is connected.
You can start wherever you want, stay as long as you need, come back when you’re ready.
There’s no single path—
but one thing is certain:
🌟 At the end of the ridge, the view opens.
This journey is not a clinical or psychotherapeutic treatment.
It is a psychological guidance consultation, in full compliance with the Professional Code of Ethics and current guidelines.
Who’s behind this?
I’m Dr. Lucia Giammarinaro.
Psychologist. Systemic thinker. Threshold dweller.
